Torres had a tumultuous time in the UFC, going 2-2 and being released once before. He was cut from the promotion following an message on his Twitter, which the UFC deemed insensitive and out-of-bounds.

However, Torres completed rape-sensitivity courses, among other things, to get back in the UFC’s good graces and returned to the promotion.

His latest loss came against rising contender Michael McDonald at UFC 145. The longtime veteran was knocked out in the opening round.
